And then, whilst helping a kinmate's R0 hunter open up his BBs, he got a golden pocket from the 1st or 2nd platinum chest. I got three identical #### bracelets on my own 1st round over the BBs. :OQuote:

Few things are more sad than vendor trashing a piece of epic loot because of the evil RNG.
2) Give us something to do with duplicate pieces. How about letting us trade unwanted pieces of lvl 95 jewelry for Westemnet coins? There are lots of things to buy with those at least, Emerald Shards not the least.
Honestly, I gave up on this rng system last year when the 85 first ages were dropping and it seemed the same people where getting the gold items(I believe there was a serious issue with rng being bugged for some). I had kin mates that had 10+ fa while i never once won a first age symbol(Never had any gold items drop until 2 days before the expansion). So for the new gear I don't even bother. I ran the battles enough to get my engineer to 6 but refuse to grind myself to disappointment. I hope to see a better system implemented in the future that makes me excited to run and grind what content we have now. If anyone is wondering i spent months running those instances sometimes spending 8 hours a day.
Well, lucky today.Quote:

So, 2 Gold for 57 Platinum medals and when I see the nearly perfect board of wsnyderco, it is not fair at all.
What's the point of that? More people showing bad figures isn't going to help.Quote:

11, only :o, platinum Cash Out, no gold, no necklace, no ring.
Relapse à la MoM. History repeating.
Verizal wasn't there, I guess.
150+ and counting without a gold.Quote:

You mean the grand total of 4 that are not possible on platinum? They're all being fixed with 12.2.Quote:

Is it possible to put a vendor that can exchange the gold you got for the gold you want + medium amount of medallions/small amount of seals. Also it might be good to restrict it, for example if i got a gold tanking necklace for my guardian i can only exchange it for gold tanking stuff, or if i get DPS necklace i can only exchange it for DPS gold stuff, maybe even restrict it to changing for a set piece,ie if i get gold DPS neck and i already have one i can exchange it for gold DPS earring to complete the set. That combined with Verizal's great idea for putting loot based on your build when the battle ends would be great IMO. I know it's a pain making all those things so we'll just let Verizal come back to us. And thanks again for the communication, this way we can definitely improve many aspects of the game:)
Guardian community loves you \o/
If that NPC is coming one day, it has to be NO seals needed, otherwise only raiders could exchange gold items. Marks/medallions is okay.Quote:

IMO it's not just the repeat Golds, or distinct lack of them for some people that is the ONLY issue.
Even the teal cashouts on Platinum seem to suffer from a large number of repeats. My Guardian has a very very strong chance of getting either a token or necklace, to the point where I have close to ten of each spare. Not a single teal earring or ring from Platinum cashout yet. He has had two bracelets, other than that, every cashout has been a teal pocket or necklace.
I'll be honest, it does get to the point where the RNG actually removes from the enjoyment of taking part and I am looking forward to an update from Verizal on where things can be improved or altered :-)
I know a straight barter token system can make things seem too 'easy' to get, but equally as it stands I an others are certainly seeing some kind of bias for want of a better word with what you get given - at least in my kin.
Main point - If changes are made to Gold loot from Platinum please also do something about the teals!!
Thanks for reading! Appreciate your work Verizal
Can captains please link which Golds they have. I only ever seen the gold "dps" necklace and pocket. Where there golds also available for the other variants (of necklaces/pockets).
And I have three golds now. Yes, that means I've doubled up.
Awful mechanic. You'd think they'd know how to implement a reward system by now.
My captain has the gold tank pocket. I do seem to get an absurd amount of necklaces. Still looking for the bracelet of the tank set. Really wish it wasn't completely random as grinding BB is far from what I'd call fun. Some kind of token exchange would be best (obviously make the gold items require several tokens each - for some people that would actually allow them to get one lol). I also like the idea of trading the repeat #### you get for something useful like currency instead of "oh yay I got the same teal set neck for the 7th time *vendor*".
Yes, perhaps a erebor like barter with special gemstones dropping from raids or whatever. Those gems were the best bit of the whole cluster IMO.Quote:

forget getting gold, I'd just like to get the jewelry that doesn't have tanking set bonuses for my 2h grd. I've completed both tanking sets several times over, but can't get the dps set. I finally said fug it and fug big (epic?) battles, i'll play in the moors till my sub runs out then uninstall...Quote:

Yesterday I finally celebrated on champion my four-hundredth platinum sidequest in wich i got my 3° gold item ......
Sadly i got another tank gold necklace and at the moment i am happy :( to have 2 gold useless tank necklace and 1 gold tank pocket .....
Ofc i 've never used blue spec since lv95 came out and i wonder how many big battles i will have to do in future to get at least 1 GOLD DPS item...
May Verizal add a gold items barter too ? it's so sick to be completely dependand by your *cough* fail RNG
with 7 95 characters I have zero intention of grinding for gold items for any of them. lol. But, good luck to you all. Especially since they are RNG item bonus drops.
I'm perfectly happy with bartering for the cyan bonus item I actually desire each time I have 186 seals.
Verizal will have a hard time adding anything as he is one of the employees that got laid off last week iirc. I hope i'm wrong but i sadly think i'm right:(Quote:
